Playful. I am not usually into romance stories. I am as romantic as a wet wash cloth. Yes I am. I've had complaints. So I am reading some romance stories. This one actually had me laughing. Can't knock that.
A notorious rogue has wardship over four high spirted and beautiful sisters. This is the begining of an entertaining book.
The Duke of Twinning realizes he is ward to four attractive females. The first of which he begins to become interested in. The women are more than just silent ladies waiting for marriage. Quite interesting read. Enjoyed it.

She was unquestionably a lady. Still, that had never stopped him before. He could see that she was not, he thought, that young. Even better. Another twinge of pain from behind his eyes lent a harshness to his voice. "Who the devil are you?"
In no way discomposed, she answered, "My name is Caroline Twinning. And if you really are the Duke of Twyford, then I'm very much afraid I'm your ward..."
Max Rotherbridge couldn't believe it. Along with the dukedome of Twyford, he - London's most notorious rogue - had inherited wardship of four devilishly attractive sisters! Including the irresistible Caroline Twinning. The eldest Twinning was everything he had ever wanted in a woman, but even Max couldn't seduce his own ward...or could he? After all, he did have a substantial reputation to protect. And what better challenge than the one woman capable of stealing his heart?

Very fun read!
This is one of the first books written by Ms. Laurens. I actually like it more than her more current ones.
If you want to read Stephanie Laurens, but want something less steamy or graphic than some of her other titles, this is the one...leaves more (almost all) to the imagination.

A fun, madcamp romp of a historical romance. Very enjoyable!
This is one of my favorite SL Regency novels, it revolves around The Duke of Twyford and his four beautiful wards.
